n. Australian colloquialism. A replacement term for a person's name (female) within a sentence. Usage stems from the idea that a person need not be named during a statement or anecdote, but that her identity can be deduced by the context of the message.
Sometimes the identity of
old love may not be discernable from the
message's context. Quite often in such instances the identity is
immaterial to the underlying message.
Person one: "I had sex with
old love. Again."
Person two: "You have to stop fucking her, seriously."
or
Person one: "
Old love dropped by and we watched the cricket for a bit."
Person two: "
McGrath had a shocker, hey...."
